The health benefits of lemon water!
-
Many health tips and diet advice that you find on the internet are bigger lifestyle changes. Fortunately, there are also some habits that you can learn very easily, and those with a few minutes a day for massive health benefits.
-
Drinking lemon water is one of them! In this article we look at what exactly the benefits of this drink are, and how you can best benefit from it.
Make lemon water
-
To start with the basics: how exactly do you make lemon water? First of all, we recommend that you only use pure ingredients, so as clean as possible water and juice that you have squeezed yourself from (organic) lemons. Bottled juice contains far fewer vitamins, and often even has sugar added.

Mix the juice of half a lemon with a large glass of lukewarm water and drink it immediately when you get out of bed. It is best not to have breakfast immediately afterwards; wait another half hour with that and in the meantime carry out your other morning rituals. (If you're doing Intermittent Fasting, it's okay to add a little lemon juice to your water, but don't overdo it.)
Digestion and detox
-
What exactly are the benefits that such a glass of lemon water provides? For one thing, it's incredibly good for the way your body handles food. Lemon water contains pectin, a substance that ensures that your blood sugar level remains stable and that you do not suffer from binge eating.
-
In addition, lemon helps keep the intestines clean and stimulates bile production, which helps your fat burning and digestion. Finally, the drink keeps the liver healthy, so that it can remove toxins from your body more quickly. Perfect for a detox!

Vitamin C
-
A second advantage is the amount of vitamin C that lemon contains. This versatile vitamin is extremely important for your resistance: it ensures, for example, that you do not walk around with snotty noses and ticklish coughs all winter. But your immune system isn't all that needs vitamin C; it is also essential for the health of your bones, blood vessels and teeth.
-
Wounds heal better, you absorb better iron, and of course it is a strong antioxidant that prevents aging caused by free radicals. With a glass of lemon water you immediately get a good portion of this vitamin!
Skin, hair and breath
-
Lemon water not only helps you improve your health, it can also boost your appearance. First of all, lemon helps to keep your skin healthy: it slows down the formation of wrinkles, keeps your skin clean, and thus helps you look radiant every morning.

In addition, lemon water prevents hair loss, something that many people have to deal with in the course of their lives. A final advantage is that you get a nice fresh breath, and that it also stimulates the health of your gums. That way you don't need that gum anymore!
Everything in moderation
-
One last tip: no matter how healthy lemon water is, it is not wise to go all out right away and knock back five glasses a day. Excess is harmful, and that applies just as much to this drink as to other foods!
-
For example, a lot of lemon is very bad for your teeth, an effect that you can partly neutralize by drinking through a straw and not brushing your teeth immediately after drinking. So keep it to one glass in the morning, then you will soon see that it will make you feel much more vital!
